About Blockchains

About Blockchains

eCash is a blockchain project led by Bitcoin ABC, aiming to enhance L1 scalability, security, transaction speed, and cost-effectiveness. It integrates the Avalanche consensus protocol with its base PoW consensus, making it effectively a hybrid consensus network that is secured against 51% attacks and extensible via subnets and hard-fork free upgrades. These improvements address scalability concerns, enable rapid transaction finality, interoperability, and guarantee subcent fees. Despite these improvements, eCash remains committed to maintaining the decentralization principles of the original Bitcoin protocol. By prioritizing scalability and extensibility, eCash seeks to realize the vision of Bitcoin as a practical and accessible peer-to-peer electronic cash system.

About Blockchains

Polkadot stands out among other blockchain projects for its focus on enhancing the foundational infrastructure of dApps. It aims to enable interoperability between blockchain ecosystems, facilitating seamless communication without intermediaries. Functioning as a "network of networks," Polkadot utilizes parachains — specialized blockchains with unique functionalities and tokens — to enable interaction between diverse blockchain architectures. Powered by the nominated proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus algorithm and drawing inspiration from the Ouroboros protocol, Polkadot offers a robust framework for building interconnected and scalable decentralized systems.
